it's thanksgiving. and instead of being in the backyard of my aunt's house wrestling my cousin josh or doing kristy's hair, i'm up here. which i mean, i love it up here & everything, and i'm so lucky to have my friends and alex and to be out of the old neighborhood, i just really miss my family. and suzie. talking to people about what they're doing, they mostly seem to complain about having to be with their families for the holidays - "ugh, i gotta go to my grandma's blahblahblah" and that actually really makes me sad, because how can you take something like that for granted? family is the only thing that's been constant to me. friends have changed and drifted and relationships too, and my family is just always there. & to not be able to just run over to aunt valerie's house and talk to erika, or to not be able to go pick up red & boy and take them out just stings at certain points, and this is one.
in any case, i forgot to write last time that alex took me to the festival of lights in hartford, and even though we were going through it backwards - :) - it was still one of those memories that are yours to carry with you. i won't even try and give voice to it. i don't know. he just makes me so happy - everything's so right.
fall showcase was tuesday & tuesday night. it went well. backstage and the green room is the trippiest place ever. just all this different energy coming from everyone, and there's speakers in there where you can hear what's going on onstage, and everything is just like it would be straight out of a dream. fuckin crazy shit.
i'm gonna go shower and whatnot.
much love to all of you,
and make the best of the holiday, however it may come out.
